The USA Lacrosse Players of the Week recognize the most outstanding individual performances in high school girls’ lacrosse in each of the five regions — Northeast, Mid-Atlantic, South, Midwest and West — outlined in our high school coverage.

The Mid-Atlantic, South and West are the only regions to be honored this week with most in the other regions not yet playing.

MID-ATLANTIC GIRLS

Abby Musser, St. Stephen’s & St. Agnes (Va.)

Musser made a triumphant return to the Saints lineup. After missing last year with a torn ACL, Musser had two goals, three assists and five draw controls in a 10-9 triple-overtime win at Episcopal of Jacksonville (Fla.) in the season opener.

The senior midfielder will continue her career at Virginia next year.

The senior attacker is committed to Florida.
